We are glad to announce a IQAC seminar that we will have the opportunity to listen to Dr. Álex Perálvarez (Associate Professor and Group Leader at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), a colleague from Prof. Isabel Haro,

We are seeking a pre-doctoral student to work in the area of behaviour and toxicogenomics. One of the goals of our current research is to study the mechanisms that regulated neuro-behavioral responses and the effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in the aquatic and model organism Daphnia magna at different molecular levels using Systems Biology approaches. About 80% of the molecular targets of toxic chemicals are conserved in humans and Daphnia and the former species is not subject to ethical experimental animal regulations.

The ENFOCHEM research group offers a doctoral thesis within the CYCLIC Project of the National Plan.

The project proposes innovative tools to assess the environmental fate of polar organic pollutants and assess their risks to human health and to ecosystems in a climate change scenario. The project has a strong multidisciplinary nature and offers marked synergies in several scientific disciplines: environment, toxicology and natural resources management.

The Environmental Toxicology group (IDAEA-CSIC) is looking for predoctoral candidates for a 3-year contract to work on the development of 3D spheroid cultures of fish liver cells as an alternative model to assess the toxicity and metabolism of plastic additives.
